Scrimshaw crashed to 33 in the MCG draw with Collingwood — 17 below his 50 BE and a brutal reversal from his 94 breakout in R7. The R7 buy was predicated on his return for the suspended Sicily; question now is whether Sicily is back and Scrimshaw's role has been cut, or Collingwood simply shut him down in a tough arm-wrestle. At $315.8k averaging 45.5, the price isn't punishing but the scoring floor is unreliable. Watch until Sicily's status is confirmed and his role is clear.
